Who We Are

Our Tenets
Be part of something greater.
Be part of something greater.
What you do every day has an impact beyond you. Your actions can contribute to happier, energized, more-creative co-workers … clients who save money, reduce waste and contribute to an improved global ecosystem … and family & friends who get to enjoy you at your best when the workday ends.
Give it absolutely everything.
Give it absolutely everything.
Our mission is to accelerate the deployment of renewables for the benefit of our clients and the greater world. That means every project is an opportunity to make a transformational difference. To pull it off, hard work is needed — and expected — every day. Because if it were easy, everyone would do it.
Get out of your comfort zone.
Get out of your comfort zone.
Greatness is born from difficulty. So, push yourself. Dare to suggest something that’s never been tried before. Take calculated risks. Focus. Believe. Adapt. Laugh. Learn from loses. Celebrate wins. And, never forget that everything we do — personally and professionally — has an impact far beyond us.
Be respectful … and accountable.
Be respectful … and accountable.
At DSD, you’ll find a work atmosphere that’s professional, supportive, curious and openminded. Our staff is dedicated to treating everyone — team members, customers and partners alike — with kindness, appreciation and respect. And that starts with each individual being accountable to the greater team.
Embrace the power of diversity.

DSD is building a diverse and inclusive workplace, welcoming people of all races, backgrounds, affiliations, gender identities and sexual orientations. We believe a team of individuals who see things differently can challenge each other to think beyond assumptions — and break down all kinds of barriers.
We do things differently here.
